They literally send less data to the camera sensor.

So maybe let's not limit ourselves to using hardware which cannot easily differentiate when there is other hardware, or combinations of hardware, which can do a better job at it?

Humans can't really get better eyes, but we can use more appropriate hardware in machines to accomplish the task.
